OBS Crashing during stream

[jakisaur]

My OBS crashes randomly while streaming. I also record while streaming. I attached the crash reports and logs from the last two streams, which both crashed. Please let me know if other info is needed. Thanks-

Is any part of your system overclocked?

The person who put my PC together says this: "Technically your ram is overclocked to its suggested settings (called DOCP but maybe better known as XMP)"

Do the logs indicate an issue with my RAM?

Thank you

Have person who put together your PC set everything back to the default clock rate.

...Do the logs indicate an issue with my RAM?

The logs indicates the crash in the libx264 - and it rarely happens if the PC is stable.
There is no guaranty that this is RAM failure. It could be any component.

Similar behavior was mentioned on the forum, the user run few benchmarks to diagnose the issue:

Repeated crashing after many attempts to resolve please help

So, I've been using OBS for over a year now. Approximately 1 month ago I enabled Surround sound and ever since I have been having such an inconsistent experience I'm genuinely considering moving away from OBS. I keep on getting an issue where I havea dum dum dum sound, as if something has been...

...and have the person who put together your PC providing you with an appropriate ram test overnight (he/she should know what...)

We took the overclock off the RAM, and it crashed again last night. I was just streaming, not recording. After stream, we ran memtest86, and there was nothing wrong with the RAM. I will attach the new logs, but I assume they are the same issue. Do the logs indicate anything else?

I will look into that other thread that was linked. Thanks.

(Just a note, the logs are 1- the stream that crashed, 2- I have to start and end stream, otherwise there is always an audio issue where nobody can hear me, so I just restart OBS as well, 3- the rest of the stream after crash)

Make sure your BIOS is up to date too, turn off "precision boost overdrive" and any other overclocking features. This is definitely hardware instability. A more stressful test like Prime95 or OCCT will probably also show it.
